Jianghu are all masters

29.

Zhang Xiaoyuan stared blankly at Pei Junze.

For so long, he has never made a mistake in the words he saw on other people's heads. Of course, Wang Henian has no need to deceive them.

So what the hell is going on?The leader of the Demon Cult had an affair with Pei Junze's mother?No, is Pei Wuluan married yet?Why did he suddenly come with this big son? !

If this is not the case... Could it be that the relationship between the leader of the Demon Cult and the leader of the martial arts?

No, no, that's not right.

Even if the two of them really have something, the two of them will definitely not be able to have a son, right? !

The secrets of the rivers and lakes are too exciting, and Zhang Xiaoyuan feels that his brain is not enough.

"I called uncle this time, not to reminisce about the old days." Pei Jun was only polite to Wang Henian, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Uncle Wang, the county government issued a reward today, I wonder if you are interested ?”

When Zhang Xiaoyuan heard the word "offer a reward", he immediately regained his energy.

Hualiuque's reward for King Kong running, the county government has a new reward!

catch!How can you not accept such a good thing!

"Recently, there have been human traffickers in several prefectural capitals. In just one month, more than a dozen cases have been committed. They were in Lin County a few days ago, and even the youngest daughter of the county magistrate was murdered." Pei Jun said with a frown, " At that time, several officers and soldiers met them head-on, but none of them were their opponents..."

Wang Henian asked: "Do you suspect that they are people from Jianghu?"

"Yes." Pei Jun nodded, "I've seen those wounded officers and soldiers. The other party's attack was extremely severe. Four people were killed and one was injured. They should have used knives. But the bones were deeply visible in all wounds. The man who survived Even if they were lucky enough to get a life back, they would definitely be crippled, I think they didn't intend to keep them alive."

He had just finished these few words, and before he said the specifics of the case, Wang Henian had already nodded in agreement.

"Human traffickers are really abominable!" Wang Henian turned to Lu Zhaoming and said, "Zhaoming, you stay and help Master Qi."

Lu Zhaoming nodded: "Yes, Master."

Wang Henian lowered his voice again, and said softly to several disciples: "Master and your uncle are going back to build the house, you should work hard these few days, if you have any unresolved matters, just come back to us. "

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan almost forgot the two thatched houses on the mountain that were crushed by Jiang Jianyu.

He raised his hand without hesitation: "Master! I also want to stay and investigate the case."

Compared with building a house and catching thieves, it is obviously more interesting to catch thieves.

Wang Henian was taken aback: "This..."

Wang Henian remembered that Zhang Xiaoyuan's martial arts were not very good, and he was the son of an old friend. He couldn't help but worry about meeting the vicious gangsters. When he was hesitating, She Shuyi gave him a slight push, and whispered in his ear: "Son! For fun, the county town is more interesting than the mountains, and with Zhaoming and Jun here, nothing will happen."

Wang Henian understood.

He looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan and smiled, then coughed lightly at Lu Zhaoming, and said, "Zhaoming, take good care of your little brother."

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

30.

Zhang Xiaoyuan got his wish and stayed in the county government with Lu Zhaoming.

Everything is as he wished, the only problem is that it is not Jiang Jianyu who stays, but Lu Zhaoming.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was already afraid of Lu Zhaoming, but seeing him break Hualiuque's leg bone last night, he couldn't help being even more afraid.

They followed Pei Jun to look at the criminal evidence transferred from Lin County. Lu Zhaoming didn't talk much, it was almost Pei Jun who was talking. He just listened silently, occasionally agreeing softly.

These thieves were said to be human traffickers, rather than kidnappers. They focused on the beautiful woman who was about to marry, and forcibly robbed her of the sedan chair on the eve of her wedding, or when she was married, and took her away.

Their methods of committing crimes are too high-profile and easily attract the attention of the government, so they usually stay for two or three days before leaving, and those young women who fall into their hands seem to have disappeared from the world without a trace.

They don't have much time, and clues should be found as soon as possible.

Pei Jun wanted to have a look around with them, but Qi Chaoyun suddenly sent someone to him, saying that he had something important to discuss, so he had no choice but to leave.Lu Zhaoming was not very interested in the thick stack of files that Pei Junze dug out. He took Zhang Xiaoyuan away from the county government office and went to the street, trying his best to find out some clues before nightfall.

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked him: "Brother, where should we start?"

Lu Zhaoming replied, "Ask first."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Ask?"

Lu Zhaoming nodded, but did not explain.

Where did Zhang Xiaoyuan dare to ask, he could only lower his head and obediently follow Lu Zhaoming's footsteps.

They walked around the street and walked outside a restaurant, where Lu Zhaoming stopped.

There were two beggars, one old and one young, sitting opposite the wine shop, they seemed to know Lu Zhaoming, seeing Lu Zhaoming walking towards them, the old beggar greeted him very familiarly: "Lu Shaoxia, long time no see. "

Lu Zhaoming also bowed to him, saying: "Senior."

Of course Zhang Xiaoyuan is used to seeing the identities of the two first.

"Six Fingers, elder of the Beggar Clan, Fengji County Baodiao, rank 98 in Jianghu."

"Little lame, a disciple of the beggar gang, the nephew of Six Fingers, ranked one thousand four hundred and eighty one in the world."

Inquire?

Zhang Xiaoyuan seemed to understand why Lu Zhaoming came to this place first.

He knows that there are many information sellers in Jianghu, sects such as the Beggars' Gang and Feiyanlou, and individuals such as the famous Daoist Insight Zi Qingqiu and Mr. He who knows everything. Most of them are between good and evil, and the business of both parties is different Doing it is extremely dangerous, but the asking price is quite high.

"Lu Shaoxia, did your master ask you to come to me?" Liu Zhi touched his crutch, "What do you want to ask this time?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan saw that the hand holding the crutch really had an extra finger on the side of the little finger, which should be due to a congenital deformity. He didn't dare to look at other people's deformities, so he hurriedly turned his gaze away to the little lame head.

There is a line of words emerging.

"There are two more fools."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

what?

What are you taking advantage of?

"Has there been any new faces in the city in the past few days?" Lu Zhaoming did not answer Liuzhi's words. He took out the ingot of silver that She Shuyi gave him yesterday from his pocket, bent down and put it in the broken bowl in front of Liuzhi, "Next In a few days, there are young girls in the city who are going to get married."

Liu Zhi squinted at the silver in the bowl, was speechless, raised his eyebrows and said: "Lu Shaoxia, this amount..."

Lu Zhaoming was silent.

Liuzhi thought he didn't understand, so he stretched out his hand with only five fingers, waved it in front of Lu Zhaoming, and said, "Two questions, at least ten times more."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

If he remembered correctly, what She Shuyi gave Lu Zhaoming yesterday seemed to be five taels of silver.

That's five taels of silver!

Three or four Wen can buy a catty of rice, and five taels of silver is enough for them to buy rice for two or three years!

No wonder the little beggar just said that they were taken advantage of, and the news of the beggar gang is too expensive!

Zhang Xiaoyuan paused, and suddenly felt that he had found a new way to make a fortune.

Wait, if selling information makes so much money, then can he also——

No, although he now knows a lot of secrets in the world, he still knows too little. At least for now, he still has no way to be a know-it-all for Bai Xiaosheng.

Lu Zhaoming looked at Liuzhi and frowned slightly. He obviously felt that it was too expensive. If he doubled it ten times, it would be 50 taels of silver. Where could he find 50 taels of silver?

Seeing that Lu Zhaoming remained silent, Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help being a little anxious, thinking that Lu Zhaoming was hesitating, and this was really a loss-making business.He couldn't help turning his head to stare at Liuzhi immediately, hoping that his random ability would allow him to see useful news popping up from above Liuzhi's head.

Sure enough, there were words ding ding bang bang crazily on Six Fingers, but none of them had anything to do with what he wanted to know.

"I haven't washed my hair for a month"

"I forgot to wash my feet last night"

"I didn't brush my teeth in the morning"

"I haven't washed my face for ten days"

"The stinky tofu on the street is really delicious"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Who wants to know such a thing!

But Lu Zhaoming bent down slowly and squatted in front of Liuzhi.

Zhang Xiaoyuan panicked.

He stared nervously at the two, and then watched helplessly as Lu Zhaoming stretched out his hand and took back the five taels of silver in the six-finger broken bowl.

Six fingers: "Young Xia Lu, you..."

Lu Zhaoming: "I don't want to know."

Liuzhi coughed and said, "The price...the price can be negotiated! Lu Shaoxia, you can give as much as you have!"

Lu Zhaoming had already stood up, stuffed five taels of silver into Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand, still with a blank and cold face, but said: "I'm sorry."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Huh?"

"This is the money my uncle gave you to buy candied haws. I took it by mistake." After Lu Zhaoming said this, he turned around again, looked at Liuzhi, and asked slowly, "How much do you have?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan watched helplessly as a sentence came out of the little lame head.

"Buying candied haws for five taels of silver, it's really rich to be taken advantage of"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Liuzhi also swallowed his saliva and nodded: "Lu Shaoxia is generous——"

Lu Zhaoming put a copper plate in Liuzhi's broken bowl.

"Give as much as you have." Lu Zhaoming said, "I only have so much."

Six fingers: "..."

31.

I don't know if Lu Zhaoming's eyes were too frightening, or Liuzhi felt that a penny was a business, so he accepted the copper coin and honestly told everything he knew.

Fengji County is a small county, so there are few outsiders. There will be a temple fair recently, and there will be a lot of vendors coming and going, but most of these people have been seen before.

Lu Zhaoming asked him, "Who are they?"

Liuzhi smiled at him: "Young Xia Lu, this is another price."

Lu Zhaoming: "Next question."

"The days are normal these days. If there are girls who want to get married in the next three or four days, there should be only one family." Liuzhi coughed and said, "It's just in the west of the city. It's a rich family. They are still holding a banquet at their natal family today. They should be seeing off their relatives tomorrow." .”

Lu Zhaoming stood up: "Thank you."

He didn't say any more, turned around and left in front of the two of them, Zhang Xiaoyuan hurriedly followed, still holding the five taels of silver in his hand, thinking about returning Lu Zhaoming, he walked a few steps, and was about to speak when he suddenly felt that Lu Zhaoming was walking in a direction that seemed Something is wrong.

Liuzhi said that the girl who was going to get married was in the west of the city, but the direction they were going—wasn't the west of the city?

Zhang Xiaoyuan caught up with Lu Zhaoming and shouted: "Senior brother! That's not the west of the city! Where are you going?"

Lu Zhaoming turned sideways, snorted Zhang Xiaoyuan's head very smoothly, and said softly, "Uncle Master has given orders."

Zhang Xiaoyuan stopped in fright: "Huh?"

"It's still early." Lu Zhaoming slightly curved his lips, as if smiling with him, "I'll go buy you candied haws first."
